IRC clients

[Elliot Lee <sopwith redhat com>]

There are now SEVEN (count them!) IRC clients for Gtk+:
	girc (I am to blame for this one - fortunately it was first
	      so I have an excuse ;-)
	bezerk
	gnirc
	gsirc
	yagirc
	nova
	my-gtk-irc (http://lm10.disc.ucn.cl/~eross/my-gtk-irc/status.jpg)

I'm also unsure as to whether comlink was going to include an IRC client
or not...

I know the urge is stronge, as shown by the above examples :) but Please
do not write another IRC client for GNOME - the argument that there is
need for one diminishes proportional to the number that already exist.
Much more appealing would be something like, say, a desktop publishing
program or spreadsheet (I have heard that Oleo will include GTK-- support
in its next release, though). Or help continue work on gwp, a cool word
processor project. Or write another unique program. Or help write
documentation. Or help find bugs. Or at VERY LEAST help with the
development of an existing client. :-)

client scene settles down a bit either."
